Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What floor scrubber models use the AML7-77-00107 squeegee?
A: The AML7-77-00107 is a rear squeegee blade assembly compatible with Tennant M17 and M20 walk-behind floor scrubbers. The squeegee mounts to the recovery tank vacuum frame. Verify your machine serial range, as some international models use 24-inch or 28-inch blade widths.
Q: What are the dimensions of the AML7-77-00107 squeegee?
A: The AML7-77-00107 is a 26-inch wide blade assembly with a curved profile. The rubber blade thickness is 0.25 inches. The mounting bracket spans 28.5 inches end-to-end. The squeegee angled design follows the machine contour for maximum water pickup.
Q: What material is the AML7-77-00107 blade made from?
A: The AML7-77-00107 uses a natural rubber blade compound bonded to a rigid plastic backing strip. Natural rubber resists wear from aggressive scrubbing and oily floor soils. The backing is high-density polyethylene rated for continuous water contact. This combination provides 1500 to 2000 operating hours of blade life.
Q: When should the AML7-77-00107 be replaced?
A: Replace the AML7-77-00107 when the blade edge becomes rounded, split, or worn thinner than 0.125 inches. A worn blade leaves streaks of water and slows tank recovery on wet floors. A blade split or compressed in the center will not lift water evenly and creates dry patches. Loss of squeegee performance indicates worn blade material has reached end-of-life.
Q: Can the AML7-77-00107 blade be sharpened or reconditioned?
A: The AML7-77-00107 cannot be sharpened or reconditioned. Natural rubber blade edges wear smooth through friction on concrete and tile. Sanding or grinding does not restore water pickup and can create stress points that lead to splitting. Always replace with a new AML7-77-00107 assembly for optimal performance.
